ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Introduced to the joys of repetitive beats by the techno-hippies of Oxfordshire (UK), Analog Rob soon was playing contemporary house in local clubs and underground trance at free parties in the surrounding fields. Returning to America, he set out to create music like that found blaring from the speakers at silly o'clock in the morning when everyone present is in the zone, and Acid Beats is the first release from that endeavour. Focused on the notion that "the sound is the song" throughout, these tracks display the raw energy that comes from an artist getting to know his equipment while incorporating a heightened sense of emotional expression. When it comes to techno and trance that chug-a-lugs, Analog Rob knows his beats.
